After 17 years working in the fast-paced world of Investments, I made the decision to make a significant career and life change by becoming a counsellor.

Far removed though it may seem from the world of counselling, my work leading teams in the finance industry caused me to develop the skills needed to help people function optimally in a high-pressure environment. By focusing on the emotional and mental wellbeing of team members, I found I was able to keep them performing at their best, without succumbing to the burnout so often experienced in such environments.

The realisation that this aspect of my work was not only where my strengths lay, but was also the most rewarding, both personally and professionally, made the decision to transition into the world of counselling a natural one.

For the past 20 years I have worked and volunteered with a wide range of adults, adolescents and families in settings ranging from schools and charitable foundations, to youth counselling services and private practice.

With a Masters in Counselling and a special interest in counselling young people, I have extensive experience as a high school mental health facilitator, providing education on topics such as eating disorders, body image, self-esteem and managing stress during HSC.

Through face-to-face and phone counselling, as well as parenting courses and youth anxiety workshops, I provide a safe and therapeutic environment in which I can support you and your family members as you explore your life challenges.

By focusing on building your strengths, my approach to counselling will guide you on an empowering journey of self-discovery and self-awareness.
